Hi,
This is the scenario. There are 3 branches, two of them are Cisco Call Manager Express and one of them is Elastix-based.
So, as the image explains, the three branches have SIP trunks fully operational. The branches are in different cities, so the numbers structure changes. In city A it begins with 2, in B begins with 3 and in C begins with 4. Every POTS number is a 7 digit number (2XXXXXX, 3XXXXXX, 4XXXXXX). And every user, in every branch, have a 4 digit number beginning with the city code (2XXX, 3XXX, 4XXX).
But, every time city A wants to make a call to a POTS number in city B, it goes across the A´s FXO line. So it charges a inter-city cost to the call.
The client wants that every time a city A user wants to call a POTS number in city B, goes over the SIP trunk to city B and use the FXO on the city B call manager.
I have made a pattern for city A. So, everytime the user dials 3XXXXXX, it does not use the city A´s FXO, but it goes to the branch in city B.
What do I have to do now in branch B´s Call Manager Express to redirect that call to a local FXO?
Thanks in advanced!
Regards
PS. There is a diagram of the topology. Want to do what the red line is doing.

In this situation I would do an answer-address based on ANI so you are specifically identifying your site A and then just piggy back off the local FXO out.
So assuming you are sending just 4 digits over the SIP for each site:
Dial-peer voice X voip
answer-address "blah"
protocol sipv2
...(whatever else you need to configure in these dots)
...
At this point your CME at site B will take the call see that it is destined for a POTs line and it should send it out whatever local dial-peer you have setup for that site when they dial out to the PSTN locally.
EDIT:
Then again, you probably already have a general incoming dial-peer, the above design would just be specific for your site A and isn't really needed.

I have a similar problem, any help is appreciated!

It all depends on your dial peers and dialing habits, simply put, whatever you ask your users to dial on A needs to match the DP on B that is pointing to the FXO, do whatever digit manipulation you need to do so on either side.
